Review of The Demon
in the Freezer By: Richard Preston
Tanay Somisetty
The Demon in
the Freezer by Richard Preston is a remarkably well written book. Although
this is a non-fiction book, Richard Preston's tells true stories in such a way
that you will feel like you are in the story yourself. In this book, Preston
relates in fascinating detail, stories of smallpox. Its rise, devastation, and
fall. The virus is now all but eradicated, both physically and from our minds.
Although we as a society may never see smallpox again, we must never forget our
memories of this virus because we have learned a great deal from our struggle
to eradicate the virus. The frightening realities of smallpox coupled with a
lots of information can make this a good book to pass the time. Although, some
people may start to feel bored of the book towards the end, I recommend this book.
My Rating: 8/10
